Fortuna City: Two decades ago. . .

Vergil finished his investigation. He came to the conclusion that The Order of the Sword were more of cult which seemingly had plans to create some sort of "Savior" who would supposedly put an end to the demons. As much as he couldn't exactly label them as misguided, The blue devil knew he would maybe have to deal with them in the future.

"Once I have retrieved my power. . . I'll wipe those fools off the map."

He quietly thought to himself as he walked around the market place of Fortuna City and stopped to look at the freshly picked flowers sitting neatly in baskets. Although he embraced his demon heritage and loathed his own humanity, he secretly enjoyed the scent of fresh flowers, the rich smell of lavender relaxed his mind. Vergil couldn't help but think about how his mother Eva would use lavender incense sticks which filled his bedroom with a wonderful aroma.

"Oh I'm terribly sorry sir!" A young lady's voice snapped Vergil out of his daydream as she bumped into him by accident.

His cold glare soon turned to a small surprise as he found himself surprised to see a beautiful girl, dark brown hair that went over her shoulders, A small butterfly clip which kept her fringe from covering her eyes, a small pointed nose and bluish grey eyes. The Son of Sparda quickly returned to his glare as his blue eyes met hers.

"Please watch where you are going girl. . ." Was all Vergil could say.

He could've sworn he heard her voice before but couldn't quite point where or when he did.

"Is that you Vergil?" The girl asked as she recognised his pale face.

"S-Sarah? As in the same Sarah who lived opposite my home?" Vergil curiously asked as he removed his hood.

Revealing his white hair which he ran his fingers through. Sarah nodded her head, delighted to see her childhood friend who she has not seen for so many years.

"I haven't seen you since-"

She was about to finish her sentence only for Vergil to interuppt.

"Please don't bring it up Sarah. . ."

He quietly but sternly said as his shook his head. The memory of losing his mother still haunted him despite his cold and serious personality.

"S-S-So sorry Vergil. . . I didn't mean to bring it up." Sarah quietly said looking down.

"It is fine Sarah. You simply did what you always do. Never thinking before you speak or act, I guess some things haven't changed." A soft chuckle came from the blue devil.

"Says the guy who decided to fight off three bullies." Sarah responded giggling as she saw him blush a little bit.

An hour later the duo continued to walk around the streets.

"So Sarah, how long have you been here?"

Vergil glanced at his side looking at the brunette, her slim yet curvy body looked amazing as she wore a black jacket which hugged her petiete body, along with a red skirt and grey shoes.

"Over seven years now,at first I moved from place to place. . . Well we moved because of. . .well you know." Sarah said with a hint of sorrow in her tone.

"Where are they?" He asked.

Sarah looked up and said, "They died. . . A fire in the local bar here where they occasionally went for dinner. At least that's what the authorities said but I knew they were lying. Why would you need so many armed men to put out a small fire?"

"Most likely hiding the fact that a demon was involved. . . I assume they lied to you because of how young you are?"

Vergil asked in return. Sarah nodded. The look on her face said it all, she knew of demons and the legend of Sparda. But she did not know about the Sons of Sparda.

"Are you hungry?" Sarah asked out of the blue, her smile somewhat gave the blue devil a weird feeling in his stomach.

Her sudden change of tone seemed to show that she's accepted the truth and has managed to live independantly.

"I would but I must get going Sarah. . . I have much to do in so little time."

Vergil answered before turning around to walk away, however the brunette grabbed his hand and pulled him into a hug. It was an odd feeling he felt, at first he tried to break out of the hug and protested that he had to go.

"Vergil. . . You don't have to go yet. . .you need to rest and eat. I'm taking you to my place and you'll at least hold a conversation with me instead of grunting like a stubborn mule. So whether you like it or not I'll look after you for a while till you're well rested!"

Sarah berated Vergil. His face in shock as he was somewhat told off by his childhood friend.

"Who the hell does she think she is talking to? Her persistance is admirable but annoying. Maybe a night oughta shut her up and put her mind at rest."

He thought before finally blowing out a hot breath and said, "Fine. . . Since you're so persistant."

"Trust me Vergil. You'll love what I can cook!" Sarah gleefully took his hand and together they went off to her small yet lovely house.

Vergil sat down on the couch placing Yamato beside the arm of the furniture and covering it with his cloak so it didn't startle his host who happily sang as she cooked them a meal worthy of a king and queen.

Thirty Minutes later. . .

"So how was it?" Sarah asked her guest who finished eating roast chicken, served with roasted potatoes, sage and onion stuffing, fresh vegetables, and a hot serving of gravy.

"I enjoyed this. . . Been a while since I enjoyed such a fantastic meal." Vergil replied in a monotone fashion.

His face hardly showing any emotion. Sarah smiled with joy despite his emotionless response, she knew he was being truthful that he enjoyed it and said

"Thank you Vergil. I even took the liberty of having Earl Grey tea sitting in the teapot for you, since you come across as a sophisticated man since you're all grown up."

"You have good taste. . . I must say you have certainly got a good home. Well kept, and to think you were the messiest girl in our little group of friends."

He said as his eyes met a framed picture depicting himself, his twin brother Dante, and Sarah when they were around five/six years old. A small smile formed as he remembered when his life was better before the demons showed up. A smile turned to a frown as he remembered what his goal was, to gain unrivaled power which would surpass his father Sparda and his own twin Dante. He took a deep breath and filled his cup with hot tea and inhaled the hypnotising smell which made his mind relax. Vergil looked at Sarah who hummed a tune whilst cleaning dishes. He didn't know why bit for some unknown reason he felt the need to assist her.

"Allow me to help." The blue devil whispered to her ear which startled her.

"Don't be silly. . . You're my guest." She said. Her voice shaking with nerves as their hands met while carefully cleaning the dishes and cutlerly.

After tidying up the duo sat down on the couch, the warm heat of the fireplace relaxing them as they quietly enjoyed the silence. Vergil stared into the fire, the thoughts of his mother came into his head as Sarah rested her head on his lap.

"You used to do that so I wouldn't go back home, even after so many years you're still the same." Vergil quietly said as he slowly began to stroke his friend's hair.

"What the hell am I doing? I better just wait till she falls asleep so I can leave. . .but for whatever foolish reason I feel like I don't wish to leave her."

The elder twin's mind conflicted within itself until Sarah got up and looked at him in the eyes and said to him, "Vergil. . . I've missed you and I miss Dante too. You guys meant alot to me back then."

"What about now?" Vergil responded trying to keep his tone serious but only to give a small smile.

The brunette brought herself close to the blue devil's face, he felt strange.

"You mean the whole damn world to me, you stood up for me when no one else did. I know Dante may have been a pain to you but he cared for you, he just showed it differently." She quietly spoke as she moved her hand to touch her friend's soft yet masculine face.

"If I told you to be silent I'd be lying to myself." Vergil said before suddenly planting his lips onto Sarah's, her eyes widening at the surprise but slowly closing them as she gave in to her lust.

Vergil stayed for another night, he never felt anything like this before. The duo were very intimate with each other, almost as if they fell under some sort of spell and they could not keep their hands off of each other as they would give in to their darkest desires. Sarah rolled off of Vergil after an instense sexual encounter, their breathing unstable for a brief moment before snuggling in to each other.

"Vergil. . . I l-love you." Sarah breathed out as she cuddled into the surprised half breed who felt he couldn't say it back but with force he managed to say it.

"As do I Sarah."

Soon after they were fast asleep. Vergil wouldn't admit it but he felt he could forget having all that power and just live happily with the young lady.

The son of Sparda woke up in the early hours of the morning, his companion still sleeping in which he smiled and quietly sighed before getting up and washing himself in the shower room. After putting his clothes on, he took his cloak and Yamato before heading to the door only to stop as he heard Sarah's voice.

"Do you really have to go? Without kissing me goodbye?" She said trying to keep her voice from breaking as she felt her eyes water, he turned around to see her on the verge of breaking down. It hurt him to see his lover like this.

"I have to. . . I must do what is needed in order to ensure I have the power. . . To protect you." Vergil quietly spoke as he approached Sarah. Her tears falling shaking her head.

"Don't go. . ." Was all she could say as she broke down crying.

The blue devil kept his composure before lifting her head up, their eyes locked onto each other.

"I love you. . . Remember that."

He quietly whispered as he hugged her tightly, she glanced up at him before planting a passionate kiss on him and said "I love you too, my dark angel."

Vergil gave a small smile before breaking off the hug and left the house. Sarah continued to cry as he shut the door. She looked at the picture of her, Dante, and Vergil when they were children and grabbed the picture and held on to it and her tears fell down.

The blue devil gave one last glance at her home, he turned away and walked off as heavy rain began to fall followed by thunder and lightening. Within a great burst of anger he devil triggered and roared into the sky in complete rage, his demonic cry was masked by the thunder. Once he changed back, his expression grew colder.

"I will gain power. . . I will surpass my father and no one will stop me!"

He quietly said to himself as he threw away his cloak and created a portal using Yamato to transport himself away from Fortuna, leaving behind his humanity and the woman he loved who soon would realise in a weeks time that she was pregnant.

As the months went by, Sarah managed to cope without Vergil. Despite her pregnancy she was more than determined to ensure her child had the best start in life.

However her own life would be the cost of giving birth to a beautiful baby boy who she lovingly named Nero who would live as an orphan for six years until he meets Kyrie and her older brother Credo who took him in as if he was his own and helped him join the Order of the Sword as a knight despite the boy's rebellious attitude.

Eventually once Nero was old enough he would finally find out who his mother was, all that is left of her was a picture of her in her childhood with two similar looking boys with white hair similar to him.

Nero often wondered who his father was and why did he leave him, his life would soon change as his right arm turned demonic and meeting the red devil Dante.
